UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Emanuel PEDROSA, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Allyn SIELAFF, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided April 26, 1979.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leo E. Holt, Harvey, Ill., for petitioner-appellant.

Stuart W. Opdycke, Asst. Atty. Gen., Chicago, Ill., for respondent-appellee.

Before FAIRCHILD, Chief Judge, MOORE, Senior Circuit Judge, and PELL, Circuit Judge.


PER CURIAM.

Petitioner was convicted of murder by an Illinois Court, and sentenced to imprisonment. He was a 16 year old juvenile, but had been prosecuted as an adult, pursuant to Section 702-7(3), Ch. 37, Ill.Rev.Stat. (1971). State remedies having been exhausted, petitioner sought habeas corpus, claiming that the so-called transfer statute was unconstitutional because it lacked a requirement for a hearing and failed to fix standards for transfer.
